Ingredients
2 tablespoons Oil
⅓ cup Onion, minced
1 pound Mixed cooking greens (kale, mustard greens, and collard greens), ribs removed and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Crushed red chile flakes
2 teaspoons Garlic, minced
1 cup Feta cheese, diced
12 Corn tortillas
¼ pound Low-moisture mozzarella cheese, diced
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped mixed greens in batches, stirring to incorporate them as they wilt. Continue cooking until all greens are wilted and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Season the greens mixture with salt and crushed red chile flakes. Stir well to combine. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, combine the diced feta cheese and diced mozzarella cheese.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or over a gas flame until they are pliable and warm, about 30 seconds per side.
Place a tortilla on a clean surface and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the greens mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Top with about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture.
Fold the tortilla in half to form a half-moon shape, pressing gently to secure the filling.
In a clean skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the filled quesadillas until golden and crispy on one side, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip each quesadilla and cook the other side until golden and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes more.
Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a serving plate and keep warm while cooking the remaining quesadillas.
Serve the quesadillas warm and enjoy.
